Big Brother UK,

week 10 nominations

With one week looming toward the final, Big Brother UK cast its final nominations.

Luke S won a free pass to the final last week (see below), as Sara and Luke A sailed through as they received no nominations. Only those receiving at least one nomination, which the show already did last week, saw Ashleigh, Adam, Scott and Deena all face the public vote.

The show revealed one week before the final that there will be a double eviction after numerous teasing and not following through. Viewers cannot fathom as to why this never occurred. The answer is simple, Channel 5 were scared they may not have any people left in the house if they threw everyone out, or that the show would have no spark to continue watching, where most viewers were outraged and turned off after Benedict Garrett was evicted, closely followed by outside Lydia Louisa. Lauren Carre’s unwarranted boot was a final straw. The show has suffered immensely since treating bullies, racists and verbal abusers favourably to maintain a number of housemates instead of a quality output.

Ashleigh is a favourite to leave the house. Deena Uppal is bookmakers favourite to win, though some predict her downfall on Friday. Clearly it will be Ashleigh and Scott who shall leave. Viewers still remember when Scott (and Ashleigh) joined the reprehensible Caroline Wharram in their schemes of gameplay and abusing housemates in the process to survive.

Leaving nothing to imagination, Sara on launch night

On Friday Becky Hatton was evicted from the house. In the show’s “shock twist” they chose to reward two abusive housemates Luke S and Conor McIntyre a chance to walk away with a free pass to the final or a £50,000 reward for pushing a button first. Neither had to push the button and could return to the house. McIntyre wanted to reach the final he claimed, as Luke S aimed to press the button in a cocksure manner of egoism Conor slyly pressed the button after agreeing to sidestep for his counterpart.

Luke S threw items and “fixtures and fittings” usually seen in Big Brother to be unacceptable behaviour resulting in immense punishment, go unpunished, as McIntyre took the money from the winner’s prize fund leaving the other 50k in play.

With Olympic fever the country were united and rejoiced with a nation’s might of winning, dedication, passion, desire and achievement. In Britain, at Big Brother, we rewarded an abusive, racist, thug who threatened to “punch her” and “stuff” certain items including her grooming products “up her ****” numerous expletive comments to her genitalia. This happened early on in the series and Big Brother UK took no action on it. Previous housemates were met with eviction in such cases.

Conor’s transcript that ‘earned’ him £50.000

On his interview, quizzed by host Brian Dowling, McIntyre took no remorse for his comments and aimed to defend his actions stating Deena was awkward to live with. McIntyre had numerous levels of awkward living with almost every housemate he didn’t “like” and often attacked furniture in angry episodes of attack.

Con-man claims he was right

Big Brother production staff and porn owner, Richard Desmond, who also owns newspaper the Daily Star (enough said) highlights the lack of understanding to the product from older variations aiming to run it for a youthful market, distorting reality to form teens who support abusive housemates as role models due to nationality or postcode and create abusive people in society, also claiming “racism” to the nation of Ireland, which is not racism, its nationality.

Viewers claim Desmond is “distorted from Reality”. Do You agree?

The fact kids throw around the lethal word of racism and assume it is a debatable opinion on a housemate, seen on a product, with distorted levels of uneducated persons aiming to attack anyone as a result of a comment that has scope forces the reality of this word to become extremely dangerous. Someone needs to oppose, shutdown or rehire a new production man/crew. I’m available; by the way to form the product credibly or just let it leave peacefully as no good can ever come off of this mockery that is all aiming to sell Desmond’s smutty newsparper alone.

Big Brother UK Nominations

Week 7

This week housemates had to nominate face to face around a campfire during a Cowboy themed task.

In attempts to shake the show up, the bosses chose to make them nominate face to face, near the end of the series. It was an utterly ludicrous choice to implement, as the group of housemates playing more than a game, full of abusive people and racists chose to nominate the housemates under pressure – meaning they would all choose the obvious sacrificial lambs.

Should they have done this in private in the diary room as usual, the result would have been more diverse.

On Friday the show will lose an extremely popular housemate with the public, either Lauren or Luke A.

The show lost its edge and caused mass controversy when student Lauren faced porn star and teacher Benedict Garrett, where all housemates creating the series have been weeded out, though this vote was when the rules changed, making it infeasible to evict after a change of discussing nominations.

This week Lauren was already pre-determined foreviction when the group spoke in code calling her the “wooden spoon” a nickname for stirring, where the housemates stirred the pot.

This is yet another rule break of discussing nominations, but because they have continually done this, Big Brother chose not to call it up, because it probably felt the same old boring thing is happening.

Conor and Caroline became the “Sheriffs” of the house

So Big Brother ignored its own brand identity and as a result, will become even more boring.

Big Brother should have changed the vote before and it should have changed it now. This is not affecting the ethos of the show, because the ethos is the rules they have ignored that require the change. The rules have been ignored to seem it isn’t always nomination discussions.

Big Brother is in its worst series ever and now has no credibility to its name and will be forever marred if this continues. It can turn it around if it changed it properly, but hasn’t done so, due to stubborn attitudes, making it a disaster.

At the start of last week Nazi Caroline was revealed, where she continually racially abused Adam for being black, calling him a “gorilla” among other obscenities and performed a Nazi salute when mocking him in a secret task watching footage with him in a group mentality.

After continual abuse and racial slurs, Caroline does a Nazi Salute. Big Brother execs nor Channel 5 have neglected to take any action yet…

Big Brother have shamefully taken no action whatsoever, despite requests.

Perhaps OFCOM need to investigate. See former post on Nominations for Week 6 here on the blog.

Last Friday, 22nd June 2012, Benedict Garrett, former teacher and porn star became the third contestant to be voted out of the Big Brother house.

In a furore of the fracas from Channel 5/Big Brother’s inept production of the series so far, this result sparked immense fury among its fanbase.

Garrett, 32, from Manchester faced the vote, a popular choice, alongside another popular choice, student, Lauren Carre, 20.

The reason for Garrett being voted out of the Big Brother compound, was due solely to the fact that he had masturbated in the shower and toilet, a private space away from the remaining housemates, to which they objected and in hindsight, voted a guy out for having a wank, which most men do as a natural occurrence.

In a responsible fashion, the culprit, Benedict, who also cleared up after himself once doing said deed, choose to have a mature discussion with the younger, childish members of the house.

Ringleader Caroline, 20, with her witches coven of Ashleigh, Sara, and Scott, with others lingering nearby, chose to strategically rally her numbers to vote and cost Benedict because they were childish to the fact a man, with levels of testosterone, chose to commit a sex act in private, in a purely natural manner.

Caroline, seemingly friends with Lauren, instigated Carre’s downfall to face the vote, of which she has survived, for now.

All the girls had been hanging around, sharing time and with Lauren, until stabbing her in the back without her realising.

The Lady Macbeth of the house, with extreme birdnest hair, and an incandescent, lewd tongue, full of hatred, expressed with disgusted and pompous vehelemency, dictated the nominations, as Big Brother, on Channel 5, allowed housemates to openly discuss nominations. Some of her remarks of other housemates include “ghastly” “horrible” while claiming she felt “uncomfortable” and “victimised” by certain behavior.

Casting away the original concept that the series was built upon,and what made the show a roaring success, previously on Channel 4, instantly peaked as a shambolic setting for the nationwide institution that was Big Brother.

Big Brother, chose to finally disallow the continual daily talk of nominations shortly on Tuesday. Housemates nominated on Monday. Prior to this, in a task in which Arron Lowe, 23, caught a timebomb, quickly passed the contraption to Benedict, where the punishment inside contained a right to revoke Benedict’s options to cast nominations that week.

Causing the mass engulfment on micro blogging site, Twitter, fans complained in their thousands, which made Big Brother’s production finally consider they had dropped the ball immensely.

Technically, Big Brother should have changed the vote. They could have…

a) cancelled the eviction, refunded all previous votes, (as no one wanted either housemate to leave considering the rule change), and re-scheduled for Sunday instead, then,

b) Either nominated all remaining housemates, or,

c) the most legitimate choice, to place all housemates selected for eviction by the two who were nominated (Lauren and Benedict) to be up for the vote. Benedict didn’t nominate, therefore Lauren’s two choices should have been selected.

Big Brother neglected to change their ways, and as a result lost an extremely popular public figure and character in the house, creating interesting TV viewing also.

In aiming to Americanise itself, creating open nomination conversations to give more of a ‘game play’ choice, BB has now stripped all of its show to shreds. Many feel this is one reason adding to the cheapening of the show. No –one fully respects the show, its choices, nor its interest. Most turned off or didn’t bother watching after Benedict left the house.

If BB changed the vote, not for favouritism but for legitimate rule changing, it would have maintained whatever credibility it may have been able to retain.

Many knew it would fail on the Channel 5 platform, while others had hoped it would still remain a mild success despite its watered down treatment.

Channel 5 have a habit of pinching worthy named formats, and categorically, putting their stamp on it, yet watering it down also, then causing the show/s to become lacklustre.

They can’t be blamed entirely, however, as Big Brother’s new production takeover, with stubborn attitude and delay to act, may have cost them more than they truly realise. Though some still watch, most feel neglected, robbed or bored of the series, with all interesting characters leaving the show in the first 3-6 weeks, which adds an air of idiocy to the fact their sole aim was to create interesting characters from the new branding of the show, more so this year.

Big Brother is in its second year on Channel 5 currently, with the last series, becoming dull and destructive.

Last year’s winner Aaron Allard Morgan,31, from Weston Super-Mare, pocketing £50,990, claimed at least 4-5 contestants attempted suicide or had those tendencies because of the show. Barely any at all claimed this was a case with the Channel 4 production, which ran for 11 successful years.

Brian Dowling, winner of Series 2, popular celebrity and respected individual, an adequate choice, became the host with the new series on Channel 5, after the exceptional Davina McCall relinquished the duties once the show moved channels.

Dowling has come under scrutiny from some watching, as too scripted, jokey and lacking all round personality from the caricature possibly enforced by show bosses.

Upon eviction Garrett, who also looted a chair, left for one reason, he masturbated. Living in a society which chooses sympathy votes to unstable housemates, who go back to the same people who cause the insults and abuse, casts a gloomy shadow over the tangibility to the structure of the show.

The fact a grown man was evicted for doing a natural act, in a private place, encouraging sympathy votes to non-interest competition whilst allowing disparaging behaviour, and only condoning lame punishments such as “no hot water” or removal of curling irons, exposes the inadequacies of the show. The show should just be left to die peacefully. No good can ever come from Big Brother any more. Exhuming the format has now allowed the show to continue rotting to its very core, until it finally disintegrates after its odorous stench of festering decay fossilises the entire design.

This week, Benedict had received numerous hate messages on Twitter, and even had his account suspended yesterday, in an unexplained reason.

One source on Twitter claimed directly to me that someone working at Big Brother HQ had cut or closed the phone lines for Lauren. Either this was a lie to enforce votes, or a feasible reason. On Friday, Benedict was evicted. Either Big Brother did play dirty and then hoping not to get caught out manipulated the choice on the quiet. If not, then a lie was facilitated to enhance votes in a biased fashion. The source profusely claimed they were not lying. Looks like Big Brother has serious explaining to do.
